This was great and I love David Mitchell's Soapbox channel. However I disagree with his point on smilies. Well, except maybe the "you're too fat" example, he has a good point there. However in general I think that smilies, too, fit into a linguistic gap that appears when using text based communication rather than voice or face-to-face communication: tone and/or body language.
